Book jacket is stained in spots Book cover has some discoloration Foxing on book ledge Pages are in excellent condition Prentice-Hall, 1968 - Consumer protection - 240 pages "The scope of the book's indictment is broad, laying bare the prevailing schemes and devices for parting victims from their money-schemes that operate within the law, without the law and, most appalling, with the law as an accomplice. It catalogues the needless product hazards threatening rich and poor alike-from babies' receiving blankets which burn to ashes in seconds, to callously made cigarettes. It documents the manipulation of credit terms and prices; the brutality of collection techniques; the secrets of space age charlatans, and the gaps remaining in the fabric of protection laws."--Dust jacket.
